Ashley Chong Lilei and Aeryn Chong have shared a passion for fitness since they were young, teaching as far back as their university days. They moved into other industries after graduating but never stopped attending international fitness-education conferences. In 2017 they went all in — connecting with LIXIN Pilates in China and founding Bhūmi.

Aeryn has since led the studio's evolution into NeuroBody™, training extensively in foot biomechanics with Master David Miao, in Western closed-chain biomechanics with Gary Ward, and in nervous-system science. Together, Ashley and Aeryn have grown Bhūmi from a single KL studio into a four-location academy recognised across the region.

We are still a boutique studio at heart — small, considered, deeply attentive. What has changed is the frame.

Their story became a method. Yours can become a practice.
